Our Favorite Store is #1 according to Lake Superior Magazine.
Wire wrapping at Copper World.
Copper World is our favorite Gift Store in the U.P. and it was recently chosen a top Michigan gift shop by Lake Superior Magazine too. I may be a bit prejudiced, because they are the sole and exclusive distributors of Snob Appeal Jewelry outside of our art shows. I make a line of jewelry made from local Michigan gemstones that are a big focus on their shelves. I think it helps that Tim and Tony Basauno know the local stones, being longtime rockhounds and sellers of fine local specimens. Together we specialize in jewelry of Datolite, Chlorastrolite, Lake Superior Agate, Prehnite, Firebrick, Mohawkite, and Thomsonite.
I spent a relaxing day wire-wrapping in Copper World, and lo and behold people from our own Traverse City rock club were in the store! I am amazed at all the people we know up here and vacationers we know from our home area. We moved campsites today and while checking into Fort Wilkins State Park started chatting with the young lady at check in. She was chatty and I mentioned we would be selling at the Copper Harbor Art in the Park this weekend. She asked what we sold and her partner answered for me, “Jewelry like this” and showed the girl a set of earrings she had on that Bonnie made and she bought from us last year.
I see our jewelry all over up here; how nice!
We are overlooking Lake Fanny Hooe, and guess what? We have satellite TV. Life is good.
I think we will go see the sunset, making life better.
